1 Christ setteth forth the graces of the Church. 8 He sheweth his love to her. 16 The Church prayeth to be made fit for his presence.

4:1 ¶ Behold, x2009 thou [art] fair, 3303 my love; 7474 behold, x2009 thou [art] fair; 3303 thou [hast] doves' 3123 eyes 5869 within 1157 x4480 thy locks: 6777 thy hair 8181 [is] as a flock 5739 of goats, 5795 that appear 1570 x7945 from mount 2022 x4480 Gilead. 1568

4:2 Thy teeth 8127 [are] like a flock 5739 [of sheep that are even] shorn, 7094 z8803 which came up 5927 z8804 x7945 from x4480 the washing; 7367 whereof every one x7945 x3605 bear twins, 8382 z8688 and none x369 [is] barren 7909 among them.

4:3 Thy lips 8193 [are] like a thread 2339 of scarlet, 8144 and thy speech 4057 [is] comely: 5000 thy temples y7541 x7451 [are] like a piece 6400 of a pomegranate 7416 within 1157 x4480 thy locks. 6777

4:4 Thy neck 6677 [is] like the tower 4026 of David 1732 builded 1129 z8803 for an armoury, 8530 whereon x5921 there hang 8518 z8803 a thousand 505 bucklers, 4043 all x3605 shields 7982 of mighty men. 1368

4:5 Thy two 8147 breasts 7699 [are] like two 8147 young 6082 roes 6646 that are twins, 8380 which feed 7462 z8802 among the lilies. 7799

4:6 Until x5704 the day 3117 break, 6315 z8799 x7945 and the shadows 6752 flee away, 5127 z8804 I will get y3212 z8799 x1980 me to x413 the mountain 2022 of myrrh, 4753 and to x413 the hill 1389 of frankincense. 3828

4:7 Thou [art] all x3605 fair, 3303 my love; 7474 [there is] no x369 spot 3971 in thee.

4:8 ¶ Come 935 z8799 with x854 me from Lebanon, 3844 x4480 [my] spouse, 3618 with x854 me from Lebanon: 3844 x4480 look 7789 z8799 from the top 7218 x4480 of Amana, 549 from the top 7218 x4480 of Shenir 8149 and Hermon, 2768 from the lions' 738 dens, 4585 x4480 from the mountains 2042 x4480 of the leopards. 5246

4:9 Thou hast ravished my heart, 3823 z8765 my sister, 269 [my] spouse; 3618 thou hast ravished my heart 3823 z8765 with one 259 of thine eyes, 5869 x4480 with one 259 chain 6060 of thy neck. 6677 x4480

4:10 How x4100 fair 3302 z8804 is thy love, 1730 my sister, 269 [my] spouse! 3618 how x4100 much better 2895 z8804 is thy love 1730 than wine! 3196 x4480 and the smell 7381 of thine ointments 8081 than all x4480 x3605 spices! 1314

4:11 Thy lips, 8193 O [my] spouse, 3618 drop 5197 z8799 [as] the honeycomb: 5317 honey 1706 and milk 2461 [are] under x8478 thy tongue; 3956 and the smell 7381 of thy garments 8008 [is] like the smell 7381 of Lebanon. 3844

4:12 A garden 1588 inclosed 5274 z8803 [is] my sister, 269 [my] spouse; 3618 a spring 1530 shut up, 5274 z8803 a fountain 4599 sealed. 2856 z8803

4:13 Thy plants 7973 [are] an orchard 6508 of pomegranates, 7416 with x5973 pleasant 4022 fruits; 6529 camphire, 3724 with x5973 spikenard, 5373

4:14 Spikenard 5373 and saffron; 3750 calamus 7070 and cinnamon, 7076 with x5973 all x3605 trees 6086 of frankincense; 3828 myrrh 4753 and aloes, 174 with x5973 all x3605 the chief 7218 spices: 1314

4:15 A fountain 4599 of gardens, 1588 a well 875 of living 2416 waters, 4325 and streams 5140 z8802 from x4480 Lebanon. 3844

4:16 ¶ Awake, 5782 z8798 O north x6828 wind; y6828 and come, 935 z8798 thou south; 8486 blow y6315 z8685 upon x6315 my garden, 1588 [that] the spices 1314 thereof may flow out. 5140 z8799 Let my beloved 1730 come 935 z8799 into his garden, 1588 and eat 398 z8799 his pleasant 4022 fruits. 6529
